I will always be there for you!

Hi friends!
How are you?  I am GREAT!  I am getting back from a few days away with crafty friends.  On Monday I drove to PA to see my good friend Maureen.  We created and had a great time on Monday.  I had  a sleepover at her house.  On Tuesday I drove an hour and a half to meet up with 4 more crafty friends for lunch and some shopping at Hobby Lobby.  We didn't have time to create anything together but it was fun just catching up.  I had another sleepover and then drove home on Wed.  Such a fun little getaway! 

Anyway, here are my cards  for today inspired by the Dreamy Rainbow mood board
 in the online card class, "In the Mood!"


I used a Heidi Swapp stencil on my background, sponged a rainbow of distress inks through it.  Trimmed down the piece using Stitched rectangle dies by Lil' Inker Designs.  I then stamped the sentiment from Winnie & Walter.  The bird is from Top Dog dies.  Matted it onto a piece of black and though you can't see it in the photo, I added Wink of Stella to the bird for some shine.

My next cards use the same bird die from Top Dog Dies.



I am adding these over at Seize the Birthday: Anything goes!


Can you tell I was inspired by this amazing Mood Board?!!!!!  I am not too sure about the third card but I am posting it anyway.  I stamped using distress inks and then spritzed with water to move the color around but it didn't move as much as I wanted.  I didn't want to throw it out so I just went with it.  The last card uses the bird from the second card.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!!!

Stamps:  A Tree for all Seasons (Winnie & Walter), Retro Flowers (Clearly Whimsy), Keep it Simple:  Praying for you (Papertrey Ink)
Accessories:  Bird Trio (Top Dog Dies), Stitched rectangles (Lil' Inker)

  23. You lucky girl! A few days on the road to visit crafty friends! Sounds like you had a fabulous time!

    4 x WOW! This die was MADE for dynamic colors! I really like how you 'toned down' the intensity of the colors on the last card. My fav is the second last one - I love how you 'smooshed' the ink colors together!
